Small bit of good news. I heard a BBC report on Israel that was actually balanced today, that is to say, a Palestinian spokesman was followed by an Israeli spokesman, and the reporter let both of them speak for several minutes. I have never heard that before on the BBC. I've heard Palestinians talk for five minutes uninterrupted, followed by a) a US State Department Spokesman, or b) an Israeli government spokesman being very skeptically quizzed by a reporter, or c) nobody. But never equal time for both sides. Maybe they are taking the criticism to heart.

Government records about plutonium and uranium loaned to U.S. academic institutions, private companies, hospitals and other government agencies cannot account for "substantial" amounts of the material, according to a report released yesterday by the Energy Department inspector general. The investigation into the matter, which began before the Sept. 11 terrorist acts, did not conclude that the radioactive materials were lost or stolen from the facilities. Instead, it said there was "a weakness in controls over potentially dangerous materials" in record-keeping by a private contractor used to track the materials. washingtonpost.com
